It is another wonderful day in the Garden of Eden, and we are giving thanks for more than enough of everything in this abundant life of freedom!  

We made a delicious feast for our volunteers and special guests today, and because we have below freezing weather we prepared the food indoors on our wood burning stove rather than on the rocket stoves of our sustainable outdoor kitchen! We stayed nice and toasty, had a fantastic meal, AND heated water for showers for super sustainable efficiency. As usual, there was more than enough food for everyone, and we are happy to share our abundance with you!

Today we made a great ham feast with creamy mashed potatoes, pineapple and fruit sauce, and cauliflower casserole!

Taking the time to make a lovely plate with a little bit of everything makes the delicious, sustainable, wholesome food taste even better!  We enjoy beautiful presentations and really enjoy adding these special little touches to our meals. 

We started today's feast with a great, fresh salad. We piled strawberries, broccoli, cauliflower, onions, and carrots on a bed of mixed greens for a wonderful serving of raw life force energy! 

For our main course, we baked a huge spiral sliced honey ham. One of these is big enough for our whole community! Depending on how much meat people want to eat on a particular day, sometimes we even have leftovers for sandwiches or to throw in a casserole or pot of beans.

We have meat eaters, vegetarians, and vegans in our community, although most of us choose to tune into what our body needs each day rather than stick hard and fast to labels. We honor everyone's dietary preferences! We have plenty of food on offer for everyone. 

We made a beautiful pineapple fruit sauce with lemongrass, ginger, raspberries and apple to top the ham. Salty ham and sweet fruit is a classic flavor combination, but we serve the sauce on the side for those who want a little bit more or a little bit less.

We also made a small bowl of chopped garlic in olive oil to add super flavor to anything anyone wanted to drizzle it on. Garlic is yummy, and it's also full of all kinds of healthful, antimicrobial compounds! Including a little garlic (especially raw garlic) at every meal is a yummy way to keep the body strong and healthy in these cold winter months. 

As a side, we made an excellent cauliflower casserole that also used up some of our leftovers! This has cauliflower, cream, onions, celery, carrots, heavy cream, cubed ciabatta bread, and American cheese cooked together in a Dutch oven.

For another side, we prepared vegan mashed potatoes with nutritional yeast, liquid aminos, and garden chives. We use a bit of the potato cooking water to mash them up. 

For those of us who enjoyed a bit of dairy in today's diet, we also made creamy mashed potatoes with whole milk, sour cream, garlic and salt.

It was another big, delicious, sustainable, free feast for 20 people! Everyone had plenty to eat, and we enjoyed the meal together to wrap up another lovely day.

Food is important, and we hope to inspire people to really take time to eat, enjoy it, and share it with someone you love. We also hope to inspire more and more sustainable practices in regards to food!
